Re: Question on SIM cards for Net10

Right now At&t sims have been removed from the Net 10 website. Your best best is to find them at a retailer (like Target) and buy them there. Be sure on the package that it gives you the At&t sims and the tmobile sims. It should be a 3 pack.

Just an FYI to all thread readers....I bought that kit from Target. On the back it says it covers both AT&T & T-Mobile compatible and unlocked GSM devices. $10 on sale right now. Nice deal. They only had a few in stock.

Do they have a $30 or low priced plan for GSM? I was disappointed to find out this morning that Straight Talk's required (advertised) "initial" $45/Unlimited plan purchase, isn't just Initial, its the minimum monthly on their GSM side. Unless I misunderstood with her accent.

Has anyone seen a prepaid carrier that has a basic $30 monthly GSM phone plan, hopefully that will accept unlocked non-smart phone handsets?

no, net10/straight talk do not have anything cheaper for their byod program. the $30/month is for phones net10/straight talk sells themselves the sim is locked to these phones and can't be used any other phone.

Hi everyone, I am looking at getting an unlocked GSM phone for Net10. I want it to run on AT&T towers (best service around me). I am confused on the SIM cards though....

On the Net10 page, I enter my zip code and only have the option for a T-Mobile SIM card pack.

On the Target website, I can buy a SIM card pack, but it doesnt say AT&T or T-Mobile on it.

How do I get a SIM card that makes the phone use AT&T towers for NET10? What do I need to buy/look for?

I will be stopping by target in a little bit but wondered if anyone could help before I mess up.....

You can buy infinite supply of Net10 "AT&T" sims on ebay. For instance many are selling 10 x Net10 "AT&T" sims for $7.50 with free shipping. Don't need that many? 5 x Net10 "AT&T" sims for $4 with free shipping. or 1 Net10 "AT&T" sim for 99 cents with free shipping. You can also buy sim cutters for $3 with free shipping, which also include micro and nano card adapters.

I just bought 20 of these Net10 "AT&T" sim cards and a cutter, for "just in case" scenario. Nobody has fully explained why the Straight Tall and Net10 "AT&T" sims are not being actively sold on their respective websites. There's lots of speculation, but I now have 20 Net10 "AT&T" sims and a cutter (and adapter cards) all for less than $20. JUST IN CASE.

My wife and I are with Straight Talk and we have two ST "AT&T" sims for our BYOD Galaxy Nexus smartphones. But if something happened to one of the sims or our next phone needs a micro or nano sim, I don't want to take the chance of not having a sim I can use. Net10 is close enough to Straight Talk, I could switch over if necessary. Also, I now have extras for family and friends if they want to jettison the post-paid money trap.

Your creed may be interesting, but your deeds are much more convincing.
